If you look up both curet and curette in medical dictionary, curette has a definition of a spoon shaped surgical instrument, etc., but curet is only listed as a variant of curette. I use curette as a noun or verb and stay away from the variant curet, especially on picky accounts. FYI.

curette used to remove foreign object from ear canal
Subject: curette used to remove foreign object from ear canal
Doc is an ESL (and a pretty good speaker but the sound quality isn't the best), and he sounds like he says he's using a seeramick (spelled phonetically) to remove a BB from this child's ear. I've searched my ENT and equipment books as well as googled and am having no luck finding this. I thought maybe it was his way of pronouncing ceramic, but I don't even know if there is such a thing as a ceramic curette. He's definitely not saying serrated. Any ideas?
